Author of the Andrew Harrison Adventures

Ian Burford

I have an overactive imagination and time on my hands. What could possibly go wrong?

About

From the rugged terrain of the Falklands to the high-tech hubs of the USA, I have spent a lifetime gathering experiences across the globe. A veteran of the British Army, with service from Germany to the jungles of Belize, it instilled a global perspective and a sharp eye for detail that informs every page. My thirst for adventure later led me to Portugal, adding to a lifetime of extensive travel throughout Europe. And, when opportunity knocked by pure chance, I pivoted to the fast-paced IT sector in the United States, where I lived and worked for over twenty years before finally returning to the UK. Today, my life moves at a slightly different pace. I live on the Isle of Portland in the south of England with my wife Susan and our dogs. When I am not  writing, I can be generally be found exploring the coastal paths of Dorset, drawing inspiration from the wild, windswept landscape I now call home.

The story is the easy part. The editing and obsessing over very word is more difficult.

A few things about me

Home:  Portland, Dorset

Writing: I am a nerd! I use Reedsy as ,my primary writing tool although I use voice dictation for those moments I wake at four AM and have to note down the latest brilliant (or sometimes not so brilliant) idea.

Reading: All sorts. Thrillers, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Horror. Basically a bookworm.

Away from the desk: I still work full time for the moment but am looking forward to writing full time.
